The CSAT scale ranges from 4 (strongly agree that the information is culturally sensitive) to 1 (strongly disagree that the information is culturally sensitive) on three format questions (category 1), 11 message questions (category 2), and 16 visual message questions (category 3). Scores calculated for each of the three categories are averaged for the overall CSAT score. Cancer resources with overall scores of ≤2.50 are classified as culturally insensitive.
